Did Miers Give Bush's TANG Documents To Rove? Was Her Law Firm Paid Off?

[KittyWampus]

Miers' law firm got 2 huge payments of 70,000 (140,000) while working for Bush Campaign against an opponent trailing 25+ points and who personally only spent about 20,000 on his legal representation.

All that money wasn't for legal representation. Was it money for bribery, hush money and other nefarious activities involved in covering up Bush's past?

We know Miers was in charge of Bush's TANG records which got scrubbed.

We know that someone funneled one of the TANG documents to Burkett who then gave it to Dan Rather.

We know that document had accuruate information confirmed by the secretary who worked for Bush's TANG commander. But same secretary disavowed that particular document- it is of questionable provenance and most likely not an original but a rewritten form passed on to Burkett from a Rove operative.

Now HOW did that original TANG document get to Burkett? Miers was the one in charge of scrubbing those TANG documents... did SHE provide it to the Rove smear and disinformation machine?

Is THAT a part of why she's being put up for SCOTUS? A reward for services rendered?

1. All according to the way the BFEE's usual MO works.

2. A story major media will not look into - but interesting

:toast:

:-)

By the way "But same secretary disavowed that particular document- it is of questionable provenance and most likely not an original but a rewritten form passed on to Burkett from a Rove operative." could be phrased such as to focus on the fact that the technolgy was at the base for typying that Doc as presented on 60 minutes - "most likely a rewritten" comes all the "put a Word Doc over it" BS that was later proven to be BS (the Illinois lab study)

3. Yes, the Secretary Said SHE Did not Type It

She did not, and could not, substantiate that it was a forgery. And it was certainly not written on a modern PC, but on a contemporary typewriter.

4. Perhaps the original the secretary DID type was held by someone

who wanted an assured future while a duplicate was typed to be used as a bargining chip? Rove would be the guy to let know one had such an original... And Rove would be the guy to use it against anyone (named Dan) who might want to expose the truth about AWOL's service record.

Just, ya know, thinking out loud...

edited for typo

5. IIRC, she said that she'd typed a docmument just like that one but not

the exact one presented to her in the interview.

There were small errors in the one Rather had. For example, it contained a term assoc. with Marines not Air Force.

6. Democrats are asking about this... could get interesting.

Harriet Miers Asked About Role in Bush's '98 Campaign
By Charles Babington and Amy Goldstein
Washington Post Staff Writers

Senators are asking Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers to provide more information about her role as a lawyer for President Bush's 1998 Texas gubernatorial campaign, for which her firm was paid $140,000.

In answering a Judiciary Committee questionnaire this week, Miers mentioned her legal roles in Bush's first gubernatorial campaign, in 1994, and in his 2000 campaign for president. But she did not mention the 1998 gubernatorial reelection campaign, for which her firm was paid far more than the $7,000 it received in 1994, according to a review of campaign records by the Associated Press.

7. I don't have the

the link but Mier's sold some property for $100,000 that wasn't worth that to Texas, I think, and that's being looked into. Here's the link,
